In many of my past dolls I have depicted chubby faced children... Sweet rosy cheeks, dressed in frocks or costumes. Many of my dolls have been truly inspired by my children, especially my little chubby face, freckled little girl.
Lately, she has been digging through her box of paper dolls, which inspired me once again to create some lil paper dolly's of my own.

I worked on the first one last night. Once I started work on the second dolly, my daughter wanted to join in the fun.
So right along side me, I drew her up a dolly to paint& decorate herself.

Her face lit up with delight!!!
I must say, she did a wonderful job on her dolly
( pictured below)
which, she named Abbie.
She even made her dolly a book and an extra outfit.
We played with the three sisters for some time...they had a delectable tea party.

I'd like to encourage you to create your very own paper dolly's too....
Girl's get a kick out of it !!
If you decide that is not for you...there are many paper doll kits available, even vintage or antique reproductions have been made.
My daughter will play with them for hours, cutting out all the accessories and outfits.
Paper dolls first appeared in Paris in the 18th Century later,
appearing in the Western society in the late 18th Century.
A pastime in which many girls still enjoy.
